Project 2025 Is a Climate Disaster in the Making

While we face the hottest summer ever recorded, Republicans are planning to make it even worse with Project 2025 by putting corporate profits over our communities and climate. 

If Trump wins in November, he’ll finish right where he left off by denying climate science and letting climate change go unchecked as vulnerable populations face heightened risks from polluted air, respiratory diseases, and food and water shortages.

 

“Project 2025 is an absolute gift to the fossil fuel industry. All of the progress we’re making would be reversed if that scenario happened.”

–Patrick Drupp, director of climate policy at the Sierra Club

 

If Project 2025 is enacted, Republicans will wreak havoc by letting fossil fuel companies destroy our environment and pollute our communities, all while gutting federal incentives for renewable energy. 

Project 2025 explicitly calls on the State Department to “rescind all climate policies from its foreign aid programs” and “cease its war on fossil fuels in the developing world (p. 257).”

Project 2025’s climate plan will make fossil fuel companies richer and force our communities to pay the price of polluted air, more extreme natural disasters, and higher temperatures. 

Republicans are so committed to denying climate science that they want to make it harder to access critical weather data .

Project 2025 would block our access to free weather reports by dismantling the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  

Under Project 2025, federal agencies dedicated to clean-energy research would be eliminated. This would drastically curb federal environmental oversight and set us back decades in climate innovation.  

As a result, public health policies will be weakened, and toxic fossil fuel emissions and air pollutants will continue to threaten our health. 

 

What Project 2025 would look like under the next natural disaster

Recently, thousands of people’s homes have been damaged or destroyed by the catastrophic flooding from Tropical Storm Debby. 

Under Project 2025, protections like the National Flood Insurance Program, which provides more-affordable insurance coverage for almost 5 million property owners, would be eliminated, leaving millions of families without flood coverage and the chance to recover. Future natural disasters would leave homeowners with damaged houses, wrecked cars, and months or years of fighting insurance claims to get anything repaired. This would require Americans to make tough decisions on spending their life savings, going into debt to fix repairs, or being forced to relocate as thousands of families did after Hurricane Katrina.

Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry, whose destructive emissions cause oceans to warm at rapid rates, resulting in hurricanes producing increased rainfall that causes these floods, would continue to evade accountability. 

If Republicans succeed with implementing Project 2025, our ability to prepare for extreme weather events and combat the root causes of the climate crisis will be jeopardized.

 

A Trump presidency would be disastrous for our climate and future. 

Together, we can reject Project 2025 at the ballot box by making sure Trump and his allies get nowhere near the White House.
